Build a house in Vellinge Municipality

Content reviewed

Coast and inland offer different plot choices

Overview

Vellinge’s project map shows development across different parts of the municipality. A plot in Skanör or Höllviken has a different setting from one in Vellinge town or Östra Grevie. The project map is not a promise that a particular house plot is for sale.

Start with a property designation and a real offer. Then check the current plan, water connection and terms for that plot before choosing a house.Plots and housing

Read the plan for the right block

Planning & detailed development plans

Vellinge’s map portal shows both current detailed plans and plans in progress. A current plan can set house height, how much of the plot may be built on and where the building may stand. A plan still in preparation can change.

Find the property and open its plan map and explanation. Ask the planning or permit office about older rules or coastal protections that are hard to understand.Detailed planning

A new home needs a permit

Building permits

Vellinge says a new residential building always needs a building permit, including outside a detailed plan. An application includes a site plan on a new-build map and drawings of the facades, rooms, ground and a section through the house. Outside a detailed plan, you can first ask for a preliminary decision.

Describe the house and plot to the permit office before ordering every drawing. A granted permit is separate from the start notice for construction.Building permits

The VA application is separate

Water & wastewater

Vellinge requires a separate VA application to connect a new home to public water and sewage; it is not part of the building permit. Include a sketch of the pipes across the plot. The municipal contractor then contacts you about the service-line location.

First ask which public services the property can receive. Apply early and allow the municipality to inspect the connection before filling the trench.Water and sewage

The right map for a new main house

Maps & documents

Vellinge offers four map types for permit applications. A new main house within a detailed plan uses a complete new-build map. It shows property boundaries, ground levels, planning rules and VA connection points, and is valid for two years. A simpler plot map is used for smaller work.

Ask the permit office which map your application needs and order it before fixing the house position.Maps and surveying

Beaches and protected nature

Living in Vellinge

Vellinge’s nature guide lists coastal reserves such as Skanörs ljung and places further inland, including Arriesjön–Risebjer. Protection makes these places valuable to visit and can also affect building on a nearby property.

Compare real journeys to school, services and outdoor places from the plot. A coastal location and one further inland offer different daily routines.Culture and leisure
